“Blossoms fall around your face, Sunshine plays upon the lace, Meet me at the summer place.”

A “vacation of the mind” song, with summer as a peaceful place, a twilight refraction on discreet and gentle moments that remove us, emotionally and spiritually, from the ruckus of life. The title name-checks that schmaltzy but irresistible 1960 instrumental “Theme From a Summer Place” by Percy Faith (that track blissed me out when I was a kid). I was nudged into making this song after hearing Mike Roe’s evocative track, “Come & Gone.” It’s also influenced by The Beach Boys, Todd Rundgren and Steely Dan. On a cosmic jukebox, this would play next to “Crystal Blue Persuasion” (Tommy James) and “Groovin’” (Young Rascals).

Thank you all for listening…see you at that summer place in your soul.

Remastered 2021 by Chris von Sneidern @ Tape Vault Studios in San Francisco CA.
